The MaRS Social Committee undertook the beekeeping initiative for three main reasons:

To increase awareness of colony collapse disorder — the increasingly serious decline in the North American honeybee population.

To provide a fun, educational and uncommon team-building activity for MaRSians.

And, last but not least, to produce and consume delicious honey. Yum!

As we roll into our second year with the bees we hope to bring you regular updates on our progress. In the meantime, check out some pictures from last summer, including the night we installed the hives.
